S = series R = repetitions
For beginners, the effort intensity and duration must be progressive and adapted to their level for maximum
efficiency and security.
- An effort reduction phase, followed by a relaxation phase. Start and finish each exercise by a stretching phase.
Stretching before exercising increases muscle suppleness and avoids injuries. After an effort, it relaxes muscles and
helps them to avoid aches.
- Stretch slowly and softly, it should not hurt.
- Hold each stretching movement for 30 to 60 seconds breathing out.
